Where it came from
Lupin the 3rd vs. Cat’s Eye was produced by TMS Entertainment as a high-profile crossover ONA released in 2023 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Lupin the 3rd anime and the 40th anniversary of the Cat’s Eye series. The project brought together two of the most iconic thief-centric franchises in Japanese animation history, tasking them with a shared goal of recovering a set of three paintings linked to the origins of the Cat’s Eye sisters' father.
The production sought to blend the distinct visual styles of both series, utilizing a modern 3D cel-shaded animation aesthetic that allowed for dynamic action sequences and complex heists. Helmed by directors Hiroyuki Seshita and Kobun Shizuno, the narrative was crafted to honor the playful, high-stakes tone of Monkey Punch’s Lupin and the nostalgic 1980s aesthetic of Tsukasa Hojo’s Cat’s Eye. It was received as a stylish, fan-focused celebration that successfully integrated the gadgetry and heist mechanics inherent to both universes.
